The Sun provides life to flowers and to people.  If it is reversed and going down, then its light and warmth is fading … and so is the life it supports.  This is not, as with the blocked card, a suggestion that the life is temporarily gone.  This is a fading Sun — it suggests that the querent is either unable to recapture youth and childhood, or that they are refusing to see the light.  There is a suggestion here that they would rather be in shadow than see what the light might show them.  It is possible that the querent is rejecting reason and logic.  Or, that the querent cannot stop the light from fading.  Ignorance is winning, as are the dim and short-sighted forces of cynical adulthood.  No one is listening to youthful protests, or thinking of the children, of future generations.  Energy fades, the light fades, music and wisdom fade.  Something must be done before all the flowers have wilted away.

When the Sun card shows up, it’s a sign that soon you are likely to find yourself feeling more free than you have in a while, perhaps years.  This is a great time to take a vacation and to experience different things.  The Sun is about vitality, freedom, joy and self-expression.  Things in general are very likely to be going very well for you.  However, even though finances are likely to be in good shape when this card appears, that does not mean that you lose focus on what is truly important in life, and money is not very high on that list.  This is a good time to socialize, to meet new people and to get out and about. This is is a time when you are very likely to be able to see the truth with a capital “T” about life … that is, there is a great deal of beauty, joy and happiness to be found in this life, if you are looking hard enough and in the right places.  Spread this very important message.  This is a great time to try different spiritual approaches on for size to see if any of them work for you.

It’s very possible that you will decide to leave your job if you are currently working, even if it’s a good job, because your heart is no longer in it. You are being called to follow your dream, no matter what it is.  If you have a desire to do something different, but don’t know anybody who does what you want to do — be bold and call up someone who does what you dream of doing and ask them if you can have lunch with them, or shadow them for four hours. You’d be surprised how often such a request is met in the affirmative. In the financial sense, the Wheel of Fortune is generally a good omen for anyone who has been having a rough time for a while financially.  It means that your circumstances are very likely to change, markedly, for the better.  However,if you have had a long prosperous period, consider the opposite possibility – that your income may drop a little.  If that’s the case, be sure you are prepared for the proverbial “rainy day.”  In the long run, it all evens out naturally.

The Moon indicates that things may seem somewhat confusing to you now. You may find it hard to understand where you are coming from, much less what others are thinking and feeling!  You need to try to sit with the uncertainty, don’t try to force things or people to do things before they are ready. This card is the “Pisces” of the tarot deck. You are definitely in a more psychic and intuitive phase than usual, so it will be important for you to trust your instincts and impressions, even if you don’t know where they are coming from. Also, not that you need to be mistrusting, but it will be helpful for you to realize that when this card appears, it’s possible that all is not what it seems.  If you feel you can’t trust someone, then you probably can’t.  Go with your gut. If you are waiting on an answer from someone, it may unfortunately take longer than you would like for it to take. Try to remain patient.
